| | very odd thing... i install the 32bit version of Vista Business edition on my laptop and it seems that some components of the tablet edition are installed automatically (snippingtool in particular)... i LIKE snippingtool and want it on my desktop but when you install on a desktop, snippingtool isnt installed and i can find no way to add it. i tried copying snippingtool.exe from the laptop but it doesnt run on the desktop (must be another file missing). i found out that you can download a package of tools form microsoft that contains snippingtool but this wont install unless it detects tablet edition!!! can someone figure out how to make this tool work on a desktop installation? |

| | Re: very odd thing... It is in control panel, windows features. I believe it is apart of the tablet pc functionality, which would explain why it wouldn't be on by default on a desktop. Oh, and one more thing... isn't tablet pc functionality not in business edition? That would remove snipping tool. Not sure about that one, but something to think about. -- /* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Robert Firth * * Windows Vista x86 RTM * * http://www.WinVistaInfo.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * */ "Troy McClure" <nun@4u.com> wrote in message news:e8yhIO4IHHA.1816@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > nope. if you copy the exe and run it, nothing happens. > > > > "Ramesh, MS-MVP" <ramesh@XOX.mvps.org> wrote in message > news:Ox3ubNOIHHA.1468@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Troy, > > Glad you got this straightened out. > >>> tried copying snippingtool.exe from the laptop but it doesnt run > > BTW, did you get any error messages? > > -- > Regards, > > Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] > Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com > > > "Troy McClure" <nun@4u.com> wrote in message > news:eRxJQ8IIHHA.4992@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > wow im a dumbass > > thankyou > > > > "MICHAEL" <u158627_emr@dslr.net> wrote in message > news:edhr%23xIIHHA.1276@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Control Panel>Programs and Features >> look to the left>Turn Windows Features on or off> >> scroll down a bit, and you'll see Tablet PC optional Components. >> >> You can also install the Games from there.
